Test system
Of course, the current test system is used again for the temperature measurements. In the case of this regular layout open “Air” case, the system is powered by a Scythe Mugen 5 ARGB air cooler. The room temperature was a summery 24°C during the test, so the measured values will certainly be somewhat lower in non-attic apartments! The case fans are not PWM controlled, but via the voltage supply. The lowest adjustable value is 60%, which corresponds to a speed of approx. 800rpm. I increased this slightly to about 900rpm because the fans no longer hum there and only whisper quietly. This is once again nothing for silent freaks, but there is still the insulated version of the case for them.
Temperatures
For the measurements, I stuck with my usual applications. A Cinebench R23 loop was used for the “Torture” measurement (CPU temperature) and the tried and tested test run in Red Dead Redemption 2 for the “Gaming” measurement.
CPU Torture
In Cinebench, the overclocked CPU settled at around 65°C after a few minutes. Since we tested with an air cooler for this review, the CPU reaches the maximum temperature much faster because no cooling liquid heats up over time. The cooler’s waste heat is obviously dissipated well and the case’s interior does not heat up significantly.
Gaming
Also at the Saint Denis run, the temperatures settled down after a few minutes. The graphics card doesn’t even reach the set temperature limit of about 70°C, but settles at about 65°C and stays almost inaudibly quiet – that’s quite respectable.
For the CPU, the Saint Denis run is already a worst-case scenario, which is why the temperature climbs into the low 50s despite good cooling temperatures. Due to the relatively low waste heat of the graphics card and the functioning airflow, the temperatures already level out after a few minutes and do not change significantly even during longer gaming sessions.
Interim summary
Since I have only collected a few measured values with the new test system so far, I cannot make a final statement at this point. What I can say, however, is that the graphics card does not get as warm “normally” installed as “hanging” installed in the recently tested Tower 500. Overall, the temperatures were surprisingly good compared to the showcase with large AIO cooling and I definitely see room for improvement for more power-hungry systems.
